Volume 1, No. 4 (Autumn, 1934) of the occasional journal "Ars Typographica," edited by Frederic W. Goudy. This number contains Goudy's article "Type Design: A Homily." With an original insert from the Continental Typefounders Association offering Goudy's types for sale (this was Melbert B. Cary's company; despite its name it was an importer and reseller of types, not an actual typefoundry).
The volume/issue numbering of Ars Typographica is confusing. Goudy started it, and published three issues sequentially in the 1918-1920 period (Vol. 1, Nos. 1, 2, 3). These were published by The Marchbanks Press. Then Douglas C. McMurtrie took over the editorship and produced Vol. 2 in the 1925-1926 timeframe (Vol. 2, Nos. 1-4) and a single issue of Vol. 3 (No. 1, 1926). These were published by McMurtrie. However, throughout this period Goudy never considered "his" Volume 1 to be complete. Consequently, in 1934 he issued what he viewed as the final number of Vol. 1 (Vol. 1, No. 4 (Autumn, 1934)). This was published by Melbert B. Cary's Press of the Woolly Whale.
